00:00 2024 is here which means that in about seven months time this will be the start
00:04 of the Olympic and Paralympic Games. The chance for Paris and for France to shine
00:08 on the international scene, shine in the stadiums but not only outside of them
00:13 too because the opening ceremony will be taking place on the River Seine just
00:17 behind me. That'll be the first ever time that this does happen which means
00:21 there's a lot to prepare for the city and for the security forces of course to
00:27 make sure that everything goes well on the day. Paris 2024 reckons there's about
00:32 four billion people will be following the Games from their television screens
00:35 so it's a chance for Paris then and for French athletes to shine not only
00:39 outside of the stadiums but also within hoping they can pick up some of those
00:42 very important gold medals.
